Kevin Pietersen fears that the Achilles injury that has hampered his summer could end up ruling him out at some stage of the Ashes series. Pietersen, who made an unusually ponderous 44 from 101 balls on the third day of the second Test at Lord’s, has undergone four injections to get him fit for the series, and wrote in his newspaper column that the injury has been playing on his mind “all day and every day”.
“People who have had injuries know that it definitely does affect the way they play,” Pietersen wrote in The News of the World. “It doesn’t really affect my strokeplay but running between wickets and diving around is problematic. This is the first injury I have had and, mentally, they really do get to you. I’ve had two injections into my back – a perineural and an epidural. And I’ve had a cortisone and a homeopathic injection into my Achilles.”
